Vitaminized air freshener and room deodorizer pad

Abstract

Wicks or pads for use in vitaminized air fresheners and room deodorizer devices are disclosed, which permit devices occupants to directly receive and enjoy the benefits of vitamins with little or no effort intra-nasally as they breath the released volatile compositions. A method for the continuous release of a vitamin containing composition for the delivery of discrete droplets intra nasally absorbed vitamins such as, but not limited to A, C, and D is also disclosed.

I claim: 
     
       1. A compressed fiber pad impregnated with a composition which pad is adapted for impact by an inert gas for the aerosol dispersal of droplets of a by weight mixture consisting essentially of (a) fragrance oil--about 0.75% to about 2.5%   (b) at least one soluble vitamin--about 1% to about 12%;   (c) alcohol--the balance in weight percent to equal 100%, which pad is adapted to release the mixture into the environment upon the impact of forced air.   
     
     
       2. The impregnated compressed fiber pad of claim 1 wherein the mixture consists essentially of: (a) a fragrance--about 2%   (b) a mixture of vitamin E and ascorbic acid combined at about 3%,   (c) alcohol--about 95%.   
     
     
       3. The impregnated compressed fiber pad of claim 2 further including: Thymol 0-2%   Menthol 0-6%   Camphor 0-6%   Eucalyptus Oil 0-2% within the total weight of the mixture.     
     
     
       4. The impregnated compressed fiber pad of claim 1 wherein the mixture consists essentially of: (a) a fragrance--about 2%   (b) ascorbic acid at about 3%,   (c) and alcohol--about 95%.   
     
     
       5. The impregnated compressed fiber pad of claim 4 further including a volatilization inhibitor. 
     
     
       6. The impregnated fiber pad of claim 1, wherein the pad is a disk of about 2.5 inches in diameter. 
     
     
       7. The impregnated pad of claim 1, wherein the pad's material is selected from the group consisting of felt, paper, sponge and artificial sponge. 
     
     
       8. The impregnated pad of claim 1 wherein between about 10% and 25% of the alcohol in the composition is replaced by a glycol. 
     
     
       9. The impregnated pad of claim 1, wherein the pad is shaped like a wick. 
     
     
       10. An impregnated pad for use in a room deodorizer device which device is adapted to force a gaseous fluid to impact the pad to release the contents into a room, wherein the pad is impregnated with a composition consisting essentially of: (A) jasmine fragrance--about 2%   (B) a soluble vitamin mixture of vitamin E and ascorbic acid--about 3%   (C) about 95% alcohol by weight.   
     
     
       11. The impregnated pad of claim 10 wherein the pad is an annular disk. 
     
     
       12. A method of periodically introducing vitamins to the occupants of a room via aerosol dispersal, which comprises: (a) periodically passing an inert gas over a compressed fiber pad, disposed in a housing having an exit opening, which pad is impregnated with a composition consisting essentially of a by weight mixture of:   (b) fragrance oil--about 0.75% to about 2.5%   (c) at least one soluble vitamin--about 1% to about 12%, and   (d) alcohol--the balance in weight percent to equal 100% to introduce a mist of the composition into the environment from time to time.   
     
     
       13. The method of claim 12 wherein the soluble vitamin is selected from the group consisting of vitamin C, vitamin E, and mixtures thereof.
